Somebody posted a quiz a week or so ago about checking to see if you are older than dirt. Anybody got the link to that?

1. No, but I'll start...who here remembers "splash downs"?
Daytime-only World Series games?
When they told you in the TV Guide that a show was "in COLOR".

My name is Richardo and I'm a geezer.

2. Okay, I'll play
Pop tops on cans
VCRs with remotes that attaced to the machine with a wire
dimmer lights on the floorboard of the car
manual transmission shifting on the column
AM only radios
CBs in cars

4. When razors had only one blade
When the TV had only three channels and there was no TV after midnight except the Indian Chief test pattern.

When rock and roll was played on AM, on your transistor radio.

When gas was .20 a gallon.

When being a republican was an honorable thing. (wow, that's been a long time ago)

When being gay meant you were pretty darn happy.

When the eight track was state of the art.

5. Getting Fired for Being Pregnant
I worked for the woman who changed SW Bell's policy. Now, that is old.

7. Maybe not that old
My boss took on SW Bell in the early/mid-60s. I worked for her in the 70s.

NEVER forget.
